    Hunting & Fishing Africa Hunting Trip

    1. If it were me, I would not fly with American Airlines if I had any other choice. In my opinion, they're about the rudest airline going. I have never flown British Airways with guns but from what I've heard, I would prefer to avoid it. 2. Definitely get gun insurance that covers foreign...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig P226 vs P229

    Re: Sig P226 vs P229 I appreciate all the comments. I have another question. Are aftermarket barrels 5 inches or longer available for the P226 and/or P229? The reason I ask, it would be nice if in addition to concealed carry it could also work as an Ohio deer legal handgun.

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig P226 vs P229

    It would appear the Sig Sauer P226 and P229 models are quite similar. What is the major difference between them and are the barrels of one interchangeable with the other?

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Sig Sauer P229 or H&K P30

    Re: Sig Sauer P229 or H&K P30 It would appear the Sig Sauer P229 is a good pistol and I have another question about them. I see that with a simple change of parts, one can shoot 22 LR, 357 Sig, 40 S&W and 9mm Parabellum in them. Obviously a kit would be required in going from 22 LR to the...

    210M vs 215M Primers

    Re: 210M vs 215M Primers Tell me gentlemen, if you have a BIG pile of brush, which will start the biggest fire; a match or a blowtorch? Compared to the amount of powder in a 308 case, the amount of extra explosive in a 215 primer compared to a 210 primer is trivial. As long as I wasn't...

    anyone using lee factory crimp die?

    Re: anyone using lee factory crimp die? In my opinion, if there is a need to crimp, the Lee Factory Crimp Die is the best way to do it. A 308 Winchester round, however, doesn't need a crimp even if to be shot in an autoloader.

    new to reloading

    Re: new to reloading This is what I use in my Encore with a 1:10 twist barrel. When working on loads, I tried various bullets, too many to remember right now, and the 200 gr. Accubonds did the best for me. When you say "fire formed" do you mean shot in your gun? That's what fire formed...
